compiling flashrom for Debian/kFreeBSD

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

Hi,

[please CC me, I'm not subscribed to debian-bsd]

the package flashrom (version 0.9.5) fails to compile for
Debian/kFreeBSD. I have written a patch which should fix compilation and
hopefully also work during runtime. Compile tests and run tests (no run
tests on laptops/notebooks/servers please) would be appreciated. Just run

svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom
cd flashrom
curl -s http://patchwork.coreboot.org/patch/3561/raw/%7Cpatch -p1
make

A full build log would be nice to have so I can see any remaining build
issues.

If you could test if flashrom works (do NOT test flashrom on
laptops/notebooks/servers), that would be even better. Just run

flashrom -VV

which will spit out lots of diagnostic messages about your system and
detect the flash chip. No other flash accesses (besides detection) will
be performed.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel

The patch works perfectly. However, some changes are gratuitous or inaccurate:

We have both interfaces. You can keep using iopl() if you like.

Actually, we have machine/cpufunc.h (we have everything in machine/*
actually).  The off_t / lseek defines after this look dangerous though
(they collide with glibc definitions).

Thanks to you for your interest.
